Our Assistant, Elder Kelly,from Seattle, Washington (in the middle in the top photo, and on the right in the bottom photo),who had been with us for 7 months, went home last Thursday, and for three days, we had 3 Assistants because Elder Woodmansee, from Oceanside, California, needed some training before Elder Kelly left. (Elder Woodmansee is on the left in both photos, and our current assistant, Elder Pollock from Heber, Utah, is on the right in the top photo, and in the middle on the bottom photo).
Goodbye Elder Kelly. We´ll miss your kindness, caring, musical abilities, and dedication.
Welcome Elder Woodmansee. It will be fun to get to know you better. We already know you are a fabulous piano player, because you play our Mission Hymn, "Mi Querido Amigo" like an angel!
We´re thrilled that Elder Pollock is staying on with us. He is as steadfast, sure and dependable as a missionary can be can be! We´re going to miss him when he goes home in July.
There´s never a dull day in the Mission, because things are always moving, progressing and changing, and we´ve learned to appreciate this. However, we greatly miss those who move on to a new stage in their lives.
As always, we´ll keep moving on with faith and hope, as we do the work of the Lord here in Buenos Aires, Argentina. "Adelante, con fe y esperanza!"

thank you for the dvd! i cried through the entire thing AND it was the perfect antidote to a very wiggly familiy night.

Hello Sister Benton,
I also have a huge appreciation for Elder Kelly. My son, Elder Pollock had the pleasure of serving with him 3 times, as you well know.
Elder Gilmore's dad shared your blog with some of us parents. It is comforting to read your words and to realize what good, wise, loving hands are guiding my son on his mission experience. He tells me as much in his letters,too.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you and your dear husband do. Christine Pollock
